Pros

Stable paycheck, some good people

Cons

Management especially in finance are completely useless. There is an incredible difficult promotion path which is fraught with political games and lack of transparency surrounding roles with a 1.5 to 2 year wait period. The culture surrounding work sounds nice but is just an excuse to not pay overtime. They are terrified of lack of loyalty so any perceived lack there of is a threat to your job security. Manager is a real dice roll, you could get a genuinely awesome manager or a loser who only works remote out of country that clearly has no managerial skills or people skills really. Also management has no issue lying to you about pay increase or promotion potential. I've never felt more disprected in my life then when I got my CPA and was told that it doesn't matter in the least.

Pros

They have exciting products and mission. They are doing some things well.

Cons

Management is very immature. They are firing people left and right, it appears to be a popularity contest led by the CEO. You are either "in" or you are "out" and this changes day to day. When I was there we were scoring very low on whether the staff would recommend working there.
